Vernor Vinge very accurately predicted how programming will develop 25 years ago.

"Pham Nuwen spent years learning to program/explore. Programming went back to the beginning of time. It was a little like the midden out back of his father’s castle. Where the creek had worn that away, ten meters down, there were the crumpled hulks of machines — flying machines, the peasants said — from the great days of Canberra’s original colonial era. But the castle midden was clean and fresh compared to what lay within the Reprise’s local net. There were programs here that had been written five thousand years ago, before Humankind ever left Earth. The wonder of it—the horror of it, Sura said — was that unlike the useless wrecks of Canberra’s past, these programs still worked! And via a million million circuitous threads of inheritance, many of the oldest programs still ran in the bowels of the Qeng Ho system. Take the Traders’ method of timekeeping. The frame corrections were incredibly complex — and down at the very bottom of it was a little program that ran a counter. Second by second, the Qeng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth’s moon. But if you looked at it still more closely… the starting instant was actually about fifteen million seconds later, the 0 - second of one of Humankind’s first computer operating systems. So behind all the top-level interfaces was layer under layer of support. Some of that software had been designed for wildly different situations. Every so often, the inconsistencies caused fatal accidents. Despite the romance of spaceflight, the most common accidents were simply caused by ancient, misused programs finally getting their revenge.

“We should rewrite it all,” said Pham. “It’s been done,” said Sura, not looking up. She was preparing to go off-Watch, and had spent the last four days trying to root a problem out of the coldsleep automation. “It’s been tried,” corrected Bret, just back from the freezers. “But even the top levels of fleet system code are enormous. You and a thousand of your friends would have to work for a century or so to reproduce it.” Trinli grinned evilly. “And guess what — even if you did, by the time you finished, you’d have your own set of inconsistencies. And you still wouldn’t be consistent with all the applications that might be needed now and then.” Sura gave up on her debugging for the moment. “The word for all this is ‘mature programming environment.’ Basically, when hardware performance has been pushed to its final limit, and programmmers have had several centuries to code, you reach a point where there is far more signicant code than can be rationalized. The best you can do is understand the overall layering, and know how to search for the oddball tool that may come in handy ...”"

Hey, I'm Tom.
I've always struggled in meetings and interviews to ask the right questions or form good answers so I decided to combine speech to text and AI to help me during meetings and interviews etc. I built an app that will listen to your meeting and analyse it at certain intervals, and in turn respond with relevant questions to ask, answers to open questions (if GPT4 knows the answer!), fact checking and insightful note taking. So far the feedback has been wonderful so I'm super keen to see what HN thinks!
Thanks a lot,
Tom
Hear hear! Seconded! And all of the other similar phrases of support.

However...I was recently at my neighborhood tavern, and the group down the bar from me got my attention in a way that moved me to action by wanting to donate to their cause. I asked how, and they provided me a URL that took me to a payment portal. It should have been that easy.

Instead, it wanted full account creation with username, email, phone number, and password with specific requirements. After 3 attempts of not being able to generate a valid password, they decided I had too many at the pub and decided to "help". After multiple attempts, they were also unable to generate a password to create the account to take my money.

Their own website and all off the unnecessary account creation policies actively prevented a successful conversion. I laughed and laughed at their folly. Of course, the individuals receiving the laughter were not the ones that mattered regarding this, so I stifled my smugness in this victory and suggested they tell their coworkers.
The article is kinda fuzzy about a couple distinct things:

* Gray market is selling a product to someone you're not authorized by the brand to sell it to. For example, the brand says you can only sell these units in geopolitical region A, but you quietly sell to region B, where you can get more money for them. The biggest impact to the buyer might be that they don't have the brand's warranty coverage.

* Counterfeiting could include all the other things described. Where you're not getting the physical product that you thought you're getting.

In one startup, we were initially pitching anti-counterfeiting solutions. But in enterprise sales courtships, it seemed premium brands were often more immediately concerned about gray market diversion.

It could be that gray market hurts more immediately or obviously, whereas counterfeiting impact on sales and long-term brand reputation is harder to quantify and attribute.

Although this article is by CRN (formerly Computer Reseller News), it's much bigger than their perspective... With Cisco, and other critical infrastructure or life/safety-critical systems/products, counterfeits have the additional problem of threatening safety and/or national security. In those cases, it's not just about a brand trying not to get defrauded or lose money&reputation, but it's also on the radar for government authorities entrusted to protect everyone.
Well, this was 1993 so my memory may be faulty but I believe it was a CS class (or maybe math?)

I put the effort in but he didn't appreciate me. I still got a lot of out of the course, though: the imposter syndrome it gave me made me work extra hard to learn actual CS I needed to be successful later in my career.
Agreed. Over the past couple of years, I have stumbled across numerous indicators that a wide variety of animals have at the very least more complex inner processes and experiences than naturalists of old would have given them credit for.

Anyone who has spent any significant amount of time living with a dog or a cat will confirm that their four-legged companions behave very much as if they had emotions analogous to our own. That they remember us individually, have favorite spots to rest, individual personality traits.

Ants don't have hobbies, of course, and I doubt they spend their evenings pondering the meaning of life. But viewing them as purely mechanical automata misses a big part of their lives.
Let's read again what you just wrote and think: "ITER are estimated to 45 to 65 billion USD"

That's not the most costly costly project, not even close (prices in current dollars and total costs)

Apollo project: $257 billion

ISS: $150 billion.

STS: $196 billion.

Fusion energy has been constantly underfunded.
I am not claiming it will automatically click with every single simpleton who has been spoon fed one single truth since birth, thats extremely hard place to ever get from.

But seeing culture, people, history, and religions too puts a massive perspective change. I could see that ie my wife traveling across India backpacking had her eyes opened quite brutally compared to her strict catholic upbringing, and it was definitely this cultural/religious shock.

Seeing other religions as equal to yours - how many folks do you know that actually have that? Seeing refugees not as bothersome scum coming to rape and steal and take social payments but same people as you, with same type of dreams, fears etc... again this ain't something you will ever get to from watching news, and that's how most people get all their relevant info, thats the folks likes of trump feed from, from their fears and hate for things they don't actually know, only heard about.

Being treated the nicest from poorest people of the world (dalits in India in my case), complete stranger yet they shared the very little they had with me, and helped me tremendously, repeatedly.

There is tons of islamophobia in Europe, especially in eastern part but I can see it literally everywhere. Most folks like that I talked to have absolutely 0 clue, they just pick few worst news about terrorism attacks, some 'alternate' media talking same stuff for 2 decades. Yes going to all-inclusive package tour to say Egypt and staying in absolute tourist bubble for 2 weeks ain't going to change anybody. I wasn't talking about that sort of traveling, but exact opposite of it.
Glue is actually surprising item. Seems like first examples of simple glues is 200 ky ago and compound 70 ky... Really makes one think what is and what is not primitive.
The Open Podcast Prefix Project (OP3) is a free and open-source podcast prefix analytics service committed to open data and listener privacy.

It would be helpful to link "open data" to an op3.dev/opendata page that either defines data usage rights or states something like "podcast analytics data is intended for use by individual podcast publishers. For usage of aggregated data, please contact []". Maybe an FAQ with examples of acceptable commercial usage.

The "listener privacy" text could be linked to op3.dev/privacy.

Or try the classic Lord Arthur Ponsonby (1871-1946):

1. We don't want war, we are only defending ourselves;

2. The other guy is solely responsible for this war;

3. Our adversary's leader is evil and looks evil;

4. We are defending a noble purpose, not special interest;

5. The enemy is purposefully causing atrocities; we only commit mistakes;

6. The enemy is using unlawful weapons;

7. We have very little losses, the enemy is losing big;

8. Intellectuals and artists support our cause;

9. Our cause is sacred;

10. Those who doubt our propaganda are traitors.

If you recover the old NATO Summit in Bucarest/2008 you'll get also the details.
OUCH link 3 went private! It is titled "Sex The Secret Gate to Eden Gnostic Teachings" by Thelema Press and should be found elsewhere (if I notice it seemingly fully disappear, I can make it re-appear so seekers may find it and imbibe).
What hustle? People just dont care about a $200 fee. Of course it's well worth paying them.

So you go from "does not seem well rounded" to "therefore is essential"?

Here's some facts.

There are nine essential amino acids that our body needs to function properly and cannot produce by itself from something else.

Meat provides those amino acids and carbs do not.

Carbs are a source of energy but so is fat, proteins, ketones and alcohol.

In addition to reversing diabetes, people on low carb / high fat diets, including carnivore, often report increase in overall energy levels and lifting of a mental fog that they experienced on standard carb and sugar heavy diet.

That energy spike that carbs and sugar give you is a glucose spike in blood and the downside of it is that often it goes in the other direction (i.e. lethargy) when you come off of it.

That's the "nap after heavy meal" effect.

This is not an anti-carb just anti what you do, elevating carbs into some unquestionably good, unique energy source necessary for you to think or love your body.

Consuming carbs in moderation is fine.

The problem is that our modern diet and what is available in grocery stores or restaurants make it almost impossible to consume carbs in moderation.

And apparently plenty people like you don't even understand that carbs are, in fact, bad for most people.

U.S. stats on this are shocking: 73.6% americans over 20 are overweight and 42.4% obese (all obese people are overweight but not all overweight people are obese)
Same for me - I do get spam, and it's frustrating, but the level seems to be broadly constant over time. I wonder if it's deliberate co-operation between scammers and other spam senders, perhaps in order to keep the total amount of spam just under the threshold that would cause people to actually crack down on the issue. Certainly, receiving only single-digit numbers of spam emails each day keeps it just slightly away from being my personal number one priority to get some proper filters installed.
> ... except perhaps if we use the description ‘drives up prices beyond historic norms’. Which is why they put it in quotes.

This makes little sense for oil - there are no "historic norms" for the price of oil; just a very wide band of prices. The OPEC cartel was formed was to coordinate production to tame price swings and increase profitability.

> So excessive production is that which bankrupts producers. And excessive consumption is that which drives up prices unsustainably. Yeah?

These cycles are normal, and self-correcting, lagging positive-/negative-feedback cycles are a recurring theme in many disparate fields. Governments, businesses and consumers may not like the implied instability, but picking a single point on the sinusoidal plot and declaring that "this is the optimal amount of consumption/production/profits"[1] seems misguided to me, simply on the basis that its inherently unstable.

1. Or declaring an optimal number of predators and prey if it's a prey-predator cycle.
Keep yourself busy on one thing if you want to. If you don't then why are you doing it?
That's actually part of the history of the new world. One of the primary uses of wood in Europe throughout the colonial period was boat-building. As such, one of the primary exports of early settlers and colonial corporations in the British colonies was timber, for boats. Eventually, it led to an indigenous boat-building industry, and from that, American mercantilism.

Lol being in the industry, it gets better than that.

Sometimes IT isn't even consulted. The engineers with no IT background will just buy equipment and shove it in without a second thought. Lord knows where they get the equipment at that point.

I had a network guy I know at another defense contractor once tell me he just came back from a IT freakout because engineering was just finishing a classified project and they literally never told IT about all the internal networking it contains. Apparently the IT guys themselves spent a weekend even installing steel plates over the network panels to the networking in a hurry to cover their bases. Lol
Although there are similar data structures, not all of them are supersets nor subsets of the data structures of JSON. For example, some data types that JSON lacks are:

- Integers (including 64-bit integers and longer)

- Non-finite floating point (Infinity, NaN)

- Keys of types other than strings

- Non-Unicode strings (e.g. byte sequences, TRON code, etc)

- Date/time

- Links

Additionally, they may differ of whether or not the order of keys should be retained.
This is probably bad, right?

I don't feel threatened as a senior software developer. Given the kind of output I've seen from the current generation of these tools, their thoughtless use at scale will, if anything, create more demand for people who have enough understanding of how things work to clean up the inevitable mess that they will produce.

I am, however, extremely concerned as a user, because the senior management in many places will push for them anyway, with the resulting drop in software quality across the board.

> (perhaps math can describe the degree to which I experience each qualia, but that is different from experiencing the qualia themselves)

Isn't that everything though?

Math can describe a stop sign. It can say it is a red octagon or whatever. That doesn't mean it is the stop sign.

Math does not have independent existence in the world (sorry platonists), its just a really formal language for describing the patterns we see.

It applies to Yuzu because it breaks the encryption on Switch games without the copyright holder's permissions. And it's simple to argue that the encryption is for DRM purposes, like CSS for DVDs.
I think it's an acknowledgement of human tribalism. We tend to take care of ourselves and our "family & friends" and let the rest of the world do the same, and one reason why capitalism and markets work better than most alternatives, they acknowledge human nature and selfishness and don't try to delve too abstractly into moral philosophy.
All video game consoles use APUs and it does make memory related operations potentially faster but at least for video games it's not the bottleneck. I suppose for HPC it might have more significance.
You’re assuming people have the money and availability to do this. It’s easy to say that this is easily solved with education but that’s probably a pretty entitled opinion.

Habit and tradition are hard to break. Along with that going back to my original point, it could be that a significant part of the population does not have the money or access. Lots of people have access to rice as their sole staple food when no money is available.

Edit: I am not as close to the Philippines but have lots of friends that emigrated and my understand is that there is a significant part of the population that are still living very poor. Also leaning on my life in Vietnam for comp of rural poor living in a growing country.
Despite all your troubles you’ve been blessed with a family and kids.

It’s a great gift and the most valuable thing in your life whatever else you accomplish.

And you already have it, right there. This is how god loves you. Don’t turn away his gifts, he can change the attitude. Cherish it, enjoy it, it will not last forever.

Get your shit together and just fight through.

Seek for people, real people who can help, there are plenty of them (including decent psychiatrists who don’t just rip and drug you off).
Nah, the 2024 solution for getting support is through social media. Tag the company account with your complaints, maybe with a few extra tags for large media outlets or popular internet creators that can amplify it.

For example, almost every instance of a YouTube creator retrieving their hacked account in the last few years has been from tagging Team YouTube on Twitter or what not.

Seems the possibility of a social media PR nightmare is the only thing that moves the needle nowadays.
You could even go up a few iPhone versions and still be <$199. iPhone 12 used ~$190 supports iOS 17 and can run the Tiny models (phi-2).

For small models, today a used iphone 14 costs ~$300. Which means next year it will by down to ~$200.

I'm pretty sure by 2026, we will be able to inference "medium" models like Mistral/Llama3 8B on a <$199 device. That's not even factoring in how much better models will get by that time
Almost all of the founding fathers either owned slaves or weren't willing to stick their necks out to stop it. We absolutely should question their judgement.
I have zero idea what an EBS, EFS, or pod is.

Not that I'm asking for an explanation. Just illustrating how much stuff there is to learn for the basic operation of "run this on your computer", even for an experienced developer. (I've been doing this for nearly 40 years.)
This reminded me why I build websites as a hobby today...
Documentation is best: https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/references/kustomize/

However, biggest is it's just YAML patching. So you don't have this {{if such}} littered throughout your project that people can't easily pick up. Values is biggest reason I see people want Helm but if it's all env variables, kustomize lets you put in .env file it turns into config map and injects into deployments.

It's possible Kustomize doesn't fix your problem esp if Developers have decided it's not their problem. I just find Devs find Kustomize much easier.

I found this revelatory at one point in my career, but this shouldn't have been a surprise as the administrators literally control all promotions and will thus turn the organization into one that serves the managerial class over actual technical ability and knowledge.

As a technical worker, your best option is to try to become extremely valuable and make it known that your continued employment is predicated upon promotions when they should be due. For example, if senior engineer is available at 5 years and you're working your butt off, you need to make it known that you're expecting it or they may just push it out to 6 years if they think they won't lose you. If you're really good at your job and it would be difficult to replace you and put your manager behind schedule, they'll be incentivized to take care of you. It's all a game.

On the flip side... don't try this if they're trying to get rid of you. Be prepared to walk away if you can if they're not taking care of you.

Another thing I learned is that if you want to join management, you have to pretty much stop acting technical. They usually don't like adding technical staff to management as 1.) it may make them look incompetent, 2.) you provide more value to the company doing technical work at a lower salary, and 3.) it shows you might actually not be a good fit for that kind of work, although this isn't necessarily true.
Got it! Strange that such a big post doesn't show up in that Google search! Really makes me lose trust in Google for basic research like that (sigh)

It’s a thoroughly interesting video, but I’m a bit disappointed he never took his idea any further than he did. I’d really love to see something like a 6502 being made at home.
I had the same thought. I was thinking perhaps its like language where at one point no one knew any common words but nonetheless formed a common understanding.

But Im not sure that works here. Besides I still dont see how feeling is necessary to accomplish this goal. Youd have to merely teach a robot to emit some unique symbol which another robot interprets as "that hurt".

And pain/empathy is just one thing. Theres a lot more to conscious experience. Seeing/hearing/feeling good/bad, etc
